[Cues: Pokémon Origins OST – Team Rocket Hideout]

The Rocket Trio stumbled into the Rocket Warehouse practically limping. Neo had done a number on them while toying with them and their Pokémon. Jessie had it especially hard given Neo did not take being called short well. A Blaze Kick to the crotch from her Hitmonlee hurt. Getting ten repeated kicks there was torture, and burned her skirt and underwear away leaving limping back bottomless. James had faced the brunt of Neo's fighting style and he could not even land a single punch. Meowth got bum rushed by all of Neo's Pokémon. Needless to say, they hoped it would get better.

As they entered the warehouse, they found a package for them. What was inside was going to make all smiles while blissfully unaware that was going to lead them to a death trap.

"That crazy bitch figured it out…" Turbine said as she was speaking to Nyancy by phone.

Shady had just pulled into town with her and Aya.

"Yes, but get this, she did not put a hit out on us. She pined the blame on those three tools following Crimson. Even pinned them for leaking information and killing Midori." Nyancy mused.

"Wait, then how's she getting this information?" Shady asked.

"I have a friend still in the Rockets. I called him up and he and I figured it out. He's figured to keep my Rocket account open for a while, but he can't keep the charade forever." Nyancy said before yawning. "I need some more sleep…"

She hung up as they all left exhausted. Shady wheeled his van to park near the Pokémon Center before cutting the engine off. The three of them dozed off. A few hours later, most of the town was waking up to go about their morning.

[Cues: Pokémon Sun & Moon OST - Seafolk Village (Day)]

But Crimson would not awake until late in the morning. He groaned opening his eyes with a light hangover. He made sure not to drink too much and stick to the small shots. He noticed he was in a bedroom full of art supplies and art. He turned over to see a rather relax Mina having a bit of tea.

"Morning." Mina said. "I would have woken you up, but you looked peaceful asleep. It was good drawing material."

Mina showed him a drawing of Crimson asleep in bed with his hat over his eyes. Crimson could only blush at that and the fact that Mina was still naked.

"By the way, thanks for the weed. Good weed." Mina said as Crimson moved for the shower. "Mind if I join you?"

"Your room." Crimson said as Mina sauntered in.

As they showered, Mina made the move to stroke Crimson's length from behind.

"It was poking me." Mina said rubbing a bit faster. "May as well take care of it."

Crimson had to admit that the hook up with Mina was rather weird. She had that relaxed look on her showing little care, but it was a treat to see her squeal. Also, her fingers felt heavenly as Crimson left out a small moan.

"I hope I was a good lay, you weren't all too emotive." Crimson said nervously.

"You were pretty good, Crimson. I'm just a bit of a stoic…and by the way, you've…about to..." Mina said as Crimson squealed. "Cum."

Shower wrapped up and both had gotten dressed. Crimson decided to go simplistic with a Red Splatter Paint T-shirt (much to Mina's approval), black cargo shorts, red sneakers, black socks, and a Black Logo Cap. He got on his backpack as he offered to buy breakfast which she passed on. Crimson had made sure his weights were in place and his fingerless gloves were on.

"You should catch up with that redhead friend of yours." Mina said before looking at the clock.

"By the way, what time is it?" Crimson asked.

"It's 10:30." Dex Bulma said as Crimson went wide-eyed.

"Oh damn, Misty's going to kill me!" Crimson said rushing out.

"By the way, your Pokédex helped me register my….number." Mina said right as Crimson sprinting down.

[Music Ends]

He called up Misty who, while relived that he was all right, was a bit peeved that he was gone all night. Much to his relief, she brushed it, but Crimson revealed that his Black Dragon "underlings" had news for him. She told him to meet up at the parking lot of the Poké Mart. As he was rushing over there, he froze sensing that energy again. He skidded to a stop to get someone get out…the source of that energy. Even if she was of short stature, she may as well have been a giant to him. Neo looked she was ripped right out of RWBY, form and all. Her heels were the only noise she made as she simply gave Crimson a plastic bag.

"You really shouldn't eat breakfast this late, Crimson." Neo said as Crimson could only balk.

Neo walked away, and Crimson turned to see she vanished into the crowd. There was no doubt about it in Crimson's mind after sensing her up close and personal.

"An aura user." Dex Bulma said as Crimson looked down in the bag.

Convenience store food from the Poké Mart, a tuna salad sandwich, a breakfast bento, several mochifuwa pancakes, an energy drink, and a small pint of vanilla ice cream that had a note on the top. Crimson took it up to read.

"I noticed you sparing those three Team Rocket losers. If you value their lives, you may want to warn them that they were pinned for leaking information to YOU and killing a fellow operative. Midori ring a bell? Doesn't matter to me, I need no one in the way to study you. Side note, my boss, wants to ally himself with your precious team. I suggest you call him. I suggest you get stronger…you'll be more fun that way. Love, Neo."

There was a number, and Crimson immediately called it shoving the note down his pocket. Torchwick was a lot easier to deal with. A brief talk to officiate the alliance. Much to Crimson's relief, Torchwick saw the Rockets as bad for information. Crimson directed Roman to continue this by speaking to his assistant, Roulette, before hanging up. He sensed Misty nearby and saw Shady's van. He immediately got in to find Shady and Misty along with Aya and Turbine all having sandwiches.

"Crimson…you all right? You look like you seen a ghost." Shady said as Crimson tore into the sandwich.

"I did." Crimson said between bites. "Neopolitan just spoke me to me."

Shady and Aya nearly choked on their sandwiches and Turbine went absolutely pale. Turbine remembered that Team Rocket had a flee on sight order for a Neopolitan. She had asked why once, they flat out said that she had beaten the boss in the past. Misty was reading the room and asked who's Neopoltian.

"Neo is an assassin and a Pokémon trainer. A damn good one known and feared throughout Kanto and even Johto. Nobody knows her origin, all they know is she's apart of Roman's group as the second in command. Neo's strong….the one person I don't think you could beat, Crimson. At least…not as you are now." Shady said nervously. "I'd put her on par with the Elite Four and…wait, SHE SPOKE TO YOU?!"

"I'm assuming she doesn't do that to people unless she's about to kill them." Crimson said dryly. "But she just gave me information and a number to Torchwick who wants an alliance which I accepted."

"Well, you got her interest." Aya commented. "By the way, what does she sound like?"

"Breathtaking." Crimson said quietly nibbling his food.

As they ate, they exchanged information. Crimson was not surprised Team Rocket was planning something for the St. Anne but was surprised that Domino screwed the trio over. Crimson could shake his head at the fact that his words did come true.

"So, the St. Anne will be here tomorrow." Crimson remarked.

"Yeah, it's moored at Cinnabar at the moment." Shady remarked. "Either way, Turbine and Aya will be going on the St. Anne with you as backup."

"Noted, but we should not be seen together." Crimson remarked. "Not until we're all on the boat."

"Right, we'll catch up tomorrow then." Turbine remarked.

Misty and Crimson left the van with Shady driving away to drop off Aya and Turbine.

"Ok, these pancakes taste good." Crimson said munching on them.

"I'm surprised that all okay with the fact that Team Rocket is planning an attack." Misty remarked.

"One that we know about. All we need to do is find the bomb, disable it, and be ready for the ambush in the Sevii." Crimson remarked.

"Once on the ship, I can tap into the ship's system and seek out the bomb." Dex Bulma chimed in. "Though, canine or any Pokémon with a sharp sense of smell might help."

"This is sounding like the plot to a spy movie." Misty remarked.

(Valencia City, Five Island| April 23rd | 8:30a.m.)

Joe did not know how to process what he had seen when he came to Ivy's house as Rusty was cooking breakfast looking a bit rough with a big ol' smirk on his face.

"Rus, you ok?" Joe asked as he, Selphy, and Sissi took a seat.

"I feel like a million bucks." Rusty said cheerily.

The triplets came down with Faith having a case bed head just wearing Rusty's jacket and a pair of panties. The now perkier goth sauntered up to Rusty wrapping her arms around him.

"You were incredible last night." Faith said before zipping up the jacket and sitting with the rest.

"No fucking way…" Joe stammered.

"I finally get why you're starved for intimacy." Rusty said blushing a bit.

"Oh damn, he one up'ed you." Selphy said sniggered before asking Faith. "Give me details."

"Rapidash. He was a fucking Rapidash in the sheets." Faith said as Joe balked. "He's a grower though. Looks average flaccid, but…"

Ivy rushed in, to which Joe was glad to see her interrupt the awkward.

"We got a problem!" Ivy said putting the newspaper down on the table. "Looks like the St. Anne's here in Kanto ahead of schedule. It's going to arrive in Cinnabar in an hour, and they'll move to Vermilion tomorrow."

"Damn it, I thought we had more time." Joe said getting up.

"Well, you don't. I've already arranged a flight for you two to get Vermilion by seaplane. It leaves in about twenty minutes." Ivy said as Rusty finished breakfast. "And Faith, why are yo…oh, I see."

"Rusty, we got to go." Joe said as Rusty got his bag.

"Rusty, your jacket…" Faith said as Rusty cut in with, "Keep it. I'll be arriving back home with my new one."

"So, this is goodbye." Sissi said a tad sad.

"Don't worry, princess. I'll be back." Joe said kissing her goodbye.

"You've got my and my sister's numbers. Call us." Faith said giving Rusty a kiss.

"This sucks! I didn't even get a turn." Hope said as Ivy raised an eyebrow.

"I'll be coming along as well. May as you use that extra ticket." Selphy said getting up.

[Cues: Golden Boy OST – Headphone Music]

Rusty and Joe were already out of the door saying their goodbyes flying away on their Pokémon for the airport. Selphy had followed not long after. It was then Ivy realized what Rusty had done. Not that she was angry, though.

"Ok, spill. I want details!" Ivy said.

(Vermilion City | April 23rd | 12:30p.m.)

"So, explain to me why you dragged me away from my training? I was in the midst of sparring with Jett." Crimson said as Ash dragged him by his arm.

"Because there's a guy offering tickets to St. Anne to anyone who can take him in a fight." Ash explained as he brought him to a small gathering watching a scrap. "Figured you could help me."

The hefty sailor thought that his bulk would do the job but was flipped onto his back. Crimson eyed the fighter, looking to be a typical Black Belt trainer. Crimson overheard that this guy was Hideki of Safforn's Fighting Dojo and he eyed his Pokémon watching the fight.

"Aye! I give up." The sailor said getting up bruised. "Ye be too strong."

"Anyone else think they can step up?" Hideki said taking a stance.

Crimson was sensing Hideki out and immediately got serious. Hideki turned having a feeling that a worthy opponent was near.

"This guy right there." Ash said leading Crimson to the center.

Crimson was rather glad he was in his gi as he at least looked the part.

"So, Ash? Your bright idea was to use me to win tickets?" Crimson said. "All right fine."

Crimson promptly let out his team and they all went to side to watch. Jett held on his jacket, Morticia held onto Daimonji, and Rhint held onto his bag and Pokédex.

"A challenge at last?" Hideki asked readying himself. "At least you look the part, but do you act it? If so, prepare to fight a student of Yamabuki Ken-go."

[Cues: Dragon Ball Z: Budōkai Tenkaichi 2 - "Granulated Oblivion"]

No words needed to be said, just a clash of shoulders as the fight began. Crimson did not relax at all with this as he was fighting to win. Hideki's style was all around straight forward to which Crimson caught his punch. Hideki palm striked Crimson's chest getting the dragon to cough before shoving off Hideki with a double-handed shove. Hideki's fist glowed white as he attempted a Mega Punch which connected with Crimson's jaw sending him spinning. Using this to his advantage, he used the momentum to spin kick with Mega Kick giving Hideki's jaw a good hit.

"You can channel ki as well?" Hideki said staggering back.

"I thought it was called aura." Crimson remarked.

"Well yes and no. Aura is usually used to describe the version that Pokémon and aurics can tap into." Hideki mused.

"Aurics?" Crimson thought as he parried a few more of Hideki's punches. "Seems that ki and aura are both similar yet seperable. I wonder…"

Crimson jumped back as Hideki backflipped to get distance.

"Allow to show you a ki technique." Hideki said bringing his hands together. "Mōko Takabisha!"

Hideki said firing an orange tiger-shaped blast. The crowd thought it was over, but Crimson looked to Rhint and nodded. Focusing his aura, Crimson took the familiar charging a blue glower sphere.

"Hadōhen!" Crimson said firing it off.

Both spheres clashed with each other both vying for domination, but Crimson slid in using Mega Punch to push it forward towards Hideki who crossed his arms in a blocking stance. Hideki was being pushed back as he tried deflecting it. Crimson raised a finger in hopes this would work.

"Dodonpa!" Crimson said firing a thin orange finger beam out his pointer finger.

The beam hit the sphere causing it to explode in Hideki's face leaving Hideki scorched and bleeding from the lip.

"That had to hurt." Ash remarked as Hideki panted.

Hideki was bleeding from the lip but was still itching to fight. Hideki revealed he was wearing weights and decided the bands remarking that he weighted himself by 75lbs.

"I had those too." Crimson said revealing his. "All together, they're about 300 pounds."

Hideki balked and the crowd had their jaws on the ground as Crimson removed them. The bands hit the ground with an evident crunch.

[Cues: Naruto OST – Theme of Rock Lee]

"I used to be at 250, but I recently upped to 300 earlier this week." Crimson said stretching. "Now for my dynamic entry!"

"That's impossi-GUH!" Hideki said Crimson nailed Hideki with a flying kick.

"Whoa! I didn't even see him jump….well barely." Ash said as Pikachu was just as shocked.

"He's been that fast the whole time…" Pikachu stammered as the force of that kick sent Hideki skidding down the street.

The fight raged on, but it was clear that Hideki was firm with power, Crimson had speed being more than twice as fast. They did have a few clashes causing small shockwaves, but Crimson was able to out speed Hideki. Both looked battered, but Hideki looked worse for wear. Hideki tried to fire another blast, but Crimson struck with a jab to a pressure point specifically to his gall bladder stunning him. In those seconds, Hideki sensed Crimson up close.

"No way…he's an a…"

His thoughts were interrupted by Crimson following up with uppercut. Hideki was out cold on the ground leaving Crimson the winner.

[Music Ends]

Crimson immediately got Hideki over his shoulder to help into his Machoke's arms. Hideki's Machop give Crimson the two ticket citing he earned him.

"Thank you, little one. Please give Hideki my apologies for knocking him out cold." Crimson said shaking Machop's hand as it nodded.

"Looks like Hideki whited out!" Ash said trying to make a pun.

Crimson groaned as Machop hauled off Hideki's weight and his bag. Crimson put back on his weight as the crowd looked like with a mix of emotions, awe and fear mostly. Crimson got his stuff back from Pokémon team and thanked for keeping an eye on things.

"I'm just happy to see you go all out again." Morticia said excitedly. "The last time you did that was when you punched that Ursaring in the face."

"I'm so amazed with your fighting. Yes…you are the perfect trainer for me. Such combat, such skill! I'll follow you forever!" Tessa said leaping up licking Crimson's face.

"Thanks Tessa, but you're making a scene." Crimson said chuckling.

"I hope you're not too hurt. I didn't think it was going to get that intense." Ash said quietly.

"It's ok. I got a good workout and new ideas for training. Here." Crimson said handing Ash the tickets. "There's only two though. I'll see if I can make some calls to inquire to get one for Brock."

Ash excitedly ran off to hand Giselle her tickets as Crimson returned everyone except Tessa who walked along Crimson's side. Crimson sensed Neo was near but decided not to engage her as the crowd disperse. Neo was pleased to see that he was getting stronger. As for the trio, they were once again reminded that Crimson could up and really kick their asses if he wanted to.

"We should really invest in a Fighting-type Pokémon." Meowth remarked.

"Maybe we should." Jessie said shuddered at the memory for Crimson kicking her.

"We should steal that guy's Machoke." James suggested.

"And have him and Crimson team up against us? Yeah, I don't want an excuse for him to take them off and chase him. The fact alone he can move with all that weight on him." Jessie remarked. "If he's training that hard, I wonder what he'll look like when he's older."

The thought came to Jessie who immediately blushed. It wasn't all a bad picture.

"Hey, who am I, chopped liver?" James snarked with a mild blush.

"Jealous, much?" Meowth said only for James to punt him away.

"Now James, you shouldn't be jealous. It would never work us between us." Jessie said easing James' annoyance. "Let's just prepare for our vacation."

Crimson walked right past them not ignoring as he headed for the beach. He noticed the Pokémon Fan Club nearby and decided to take a look inside. As he entered, he found what he expected. Casuals more into the cuteness of unevolved Pokémon. Crimson already stood out being that Tessa was not exactly cut anymore. The Chairman, however, recognized him.

"Oh yes, you must be Crimson. Welcome to the fan club." Mr. Craig. "I am Craig Sukizo, the chairman of this merry place."

"Thanks for the warm welcome. This is Tessa." Crimson said introducing Tessa who belched abashedly.

"It's so cute." A Pokéfan said with her Pikachu. "The nickname's adorable."

"I'm not supposed to be cute." Tessa muttered.

"You get used to it." The Pikachu said with a sigh.

Crimson had endured listening to Craig's spiel about his Rapidash. Said Rapidash was a bit embarrassed as it was a humble creature and just trying to do its duty. By the end, ten minutes passed, and Tessa was napping.

"Oh, look at the time. Time for lunch." Craig remarked. "Thank you for your company. Here, takes this as compensation."

Crimson got a bike voucher…which was useless seeing he had a motorcycle. He accepted it figuring he could give it to Ash. As Tessa woke up, Crimson's cell rang with a cheery ringtone. Crimson stepped outside answering it as Tessa, who just woke up, stumbled out with him.

"Moshi moshi." Crimson said.

"Hey, what up, Crimson?" Rusty said chipper.

"Rusty, I haven't heard from you in a while. How was the Sevii Islands?" Crimson remarked.

"It was good and all. We're on our way back to Kanto to catch the St. Anne, we should be by the evening." Rusty explained.

"You got an extra ticket?" Crimson asked. "Because I have a friend who really wants to go and…."

"Oh sure, I got one to spare." Rusty said. "Either way, can't stay…on flight…bye."

Rusty hung up on him, and Crimson smirked realizing it was all working out. Crimson had handed off the voucher to Ash and spent the rest of afternoon, after lunch, training. Misty had joined in and as they sparred, Ash and the other watched.

"I didn't know Misty was getting into martial arts." Brock said mildly surprised. "Then again, your company changes you."

"You know, Crimson's pretty hot when he trains." Lindsay said with a giggle. "When's he's all quiet and focused."

He lost focus because of that and got punched by Misty. Gary got a good laugh out of that.

"Just my luck." Crimson thought.

-o-

Hours later, Rusty and Joe had arrived with Selphy in tow. Crimson was pleased to be meet one of the Sevii Trio but made sure to get the ticket for Brock. With that, everyone was excitedly waiting for cruise ship tomorrow. Crimson had made sure to find Mina to let you know that the ship was coming tomorrow.

(A/N: Figured I'd use this chapter to reveal the other players' teams. No, this won't be a constant thing, but I wanted to at least ensure everyone's got a feel for everyone's teams. I did not reveal Gibert's and that's because…it's a surprise. Yes, both Brock and Giselle's Golbats evolved off-screen during that chapter. Side note, Rusty and Joe are back with the main heroes putting their B story to run next to the A story. But let's cut to the chase, you want an explanation.

I pointed out that ki and aura were different. Think of the "ki" humans used as purified water, while the "aura" is water in its purest natural state. Yes, I'm going for a chakra/nature chakra kind of situation. All Pokémon and aurics have aura while the rest of humanity has ki.

That's all the explanation you're getting for now, because you'll have to wait for the next breadcrumb. Later readers!)
